Wildfrauhaus - Places of Geologic Significance on Waymarking.com

Quick Description: On the eastern slope of the 361 m high hill called Gänsberg, there is a rock formation called Wildfrauhaus. Overall, there are three separate cliffs that run along a length of 150 meters.

Long Description:The rock formation consists of basanite. This is a basalt-like volcanic rock, which is produced by the rise of liquid molten rock (the magma, which is called lava when it reaches the Earth's surface). With the naked eye is the difference between each type of volcanic effusions not possible. Only a study in the laboratory allows to distinguish between the individual rocks.
